In addition to its artistic merit, the Khalili Portolan Atlas is notable for its adaptation of charts from Piri Reis’s kitāb-i bahrīye (Book of Navigation), itself a landmark in the history of sixteenth-century Mediterranean cartography for its exhaustive coverage of the Mediterranean coasts and islands. Composed in the late seventeenth-century, the Khalili Portolan Atlas draws extensively on the wealth of pictorial and factual information provided by Piri Reis’s early sixteenth-century charts of the Mediterranean.
